I assume you saw my e-mail note over the weekend where I went through GEICO’s on-line quote process. In my case, in 2017 I paid a $1040 annual premium versus a $523 on-line quote for the same or better coverage (and slightly higher hull value). All you did was remind me about the call I planned to make.
Besides, I’m not going to rat you out.

This is on an agreed hull value of $50,000 (yes, I know that’s really high for my boat, but I haven’t seen any reason to change it…), with 1% deductible and $500,000 of liability; and covers sailing on the Great Lakes and tributaries. My BoatUS premium was a little under $700.00; when it moved to Geico it went up to $852.00. The quote I got online was for $571.00. In my initial conversation this morning, the agent on the phone said that my renewal coming in March was going to be less than last year; somewhere in the $750.00 range. She said that I could go ahead and get insurance at the online quoted rate, but I would need to get a survey done before they’d cover me on a new policy. After talking at length with an underwriter and reviewing my policy, the agent just called back: my renewal in March will cost $494.00. I guess it pays to be the squeaky wheel sometimes… — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
